Chapter 624: 624 The Debt He Owed Her, Putting His Life on the Line (7)_1
It hurts, probably because she’s upset.
She needs to thoroughly digest the things she learned tonight.
And, when she sees him again, she can’t make it too obvious, she has to act like she knows nothing.
Unless he tells her about it again in person, she will never admit that she knows.
Brother South must have told her for her own good.
If they end up together and Gu Liancheng plans to never tell her, then she will also make it her lifelong secret, never to mention it.
Ah....
When she didn’t know, she was curious; now that she knows, her heart aches for him even more.
Gu Liancheng, how can you be so bothersome?
She wants to quietly walk away, but she finds it a bit hard.
All of a sudden she wants to protect him, just like Wen Qianxi did in the past.
But she needs to seriously consider this decision because she can’t leave him like Wen Qianxi did, inflicting on him a second wound.
Holding her phone without a single call from him.
Call!
Why is he so obedient today, not bothering her at all when he usually does?
Eleven stared at her phone for a while, but there were no messages from him.
Could it be that he was so happy with Jiujiu that he completely forgot about her?
Normally, Eleven could put her phone aside and sleep straight away, but today, she can’t sleep even if she wants to!
Unable to hold back, Eleven gritted her teeth and dialed his number.
After the call connected, a surprised voice from the other end came, "Gu Qianxun?"
He seemed surprised that she would call him.
He wondered when was the last time she called him... He couldn’t remember!
"Eh, it’s me." Eleven obediently answered.
Once he confirmed it was her, he began to laugh: "Gu Qianxun, did you take the wrong medicine?"
"..."
Well, she’s not angry!
She didn’t look angry at all, still trying to recover from the heartache. Thinking of him laughing so joyfully, the stories came to her mind, and she feels so pained that she has no time to be angry.
"Don’t want to talk? If you don’t want to, just hang up."
"Don’t—" Gu Liancheng hurriedly responded, "How could I not want to answer when you rarely call me? Hmm... it’s just unexpected, what happened?"
"Have you slept? What about Jiujiu?" Eleven changed the subject.
"Jiujiu’s asleep, I haven’t. I just laid down but can’t sleep. Whenever I close my eyes, I see you, missing you." His frivolous tone sounded incredibly genuine.
He wasn’t like this in the past. He was always gentle to her, occasionally speaking sweet words with a good-sounding voice and a tender tone, not like now, flirtatiously.
But even so, Eleven couldn’t bring herself to dislike him.
His flirtatiousness had the flair of the Gu’s, different from others.
"Keep chirping, does that mean you can get a girlfriend?"
"How do I know if I can’t get one if I don’t try? Aren’t I successful? You even call me, you must be missing me that you can’t sleep, right?—— Hey? Gu Qianxun? Are you still there?"
She didn’t speak for a while.
Then through the phone, he heard her sobbing.
Gu Liancheng was immediately alarmed and stammered, "Are you crying?"
Eleven didn’t answer, her crying was unmasked.
She knew it, she knew she had to cry tonight, but didn’t expect to be unable to hold it back on the phone.
